AUGUSTA, Feb. 10.
The Senate today concluded that it had
been too gallant or too hasty ON Friday in
passing the woman suffrage amendment, and
reconsidered the vote. The amendment
will lie ON the table till next Wednesday
morning at II o'clock when it win be taken
up and undoubtedly thoroughly discussed
before another vote is taken, There is an
opinion, more or less general, that the SEN
ate passed the amendment in moment of
thoughtlessness and good nature rather than
because actuated by firm, underlying convic-
tion that such action would be best. Some
of the Senators even now predict that on
next Wednesday the vote will be reversed /,
while others say they think the Senate will
stick to its original position.
1t is certain, however, that there is op-
position to the movement from a very un-
expected and also very influential quarter.
1t has been generally believed about the
State House that the women themselves
while they might not be very clamorous for
the ballot, would yet take it willingly if it
should be given to them. But already there
is talk among the ladies OF Augusta
of taking concerted action in remon-
STRANGE against any such legislation;
more than this, there was received
in the Senate today, and referred to
the committee on judiciary, this remark
by more than hundred and fifty prominent
women of Portland:
The undersigned women of Portland, believing
that the imposing upou their own sex the respon-
sibiiities of elections, will involve them in the
ambitiyus ntrigues of politics and in the competl
ton Of business, will impair the integrity Of their
devotion TO their domestic duties and will de-
teriorate the character and consideration which
give them the influence they now exert in society,"
respectfully demonstrate against giving the ballot

that he will then 90 to Rome He will never
